That is awesome Kay1959!! I also have an encouraging report. Last Thursday I had my first follow-up appointment after being released from the hospital for a severe COPD exacerbation. My doctor asked how the wuitting was going. I told her pretty good - not perfect - I still cheat a few smokes a...

OK! Good one - cinnamon is a favorite flavor of mine in tea and candy. I can see me liking that, but I am unclear on the plastics warning. I have several types of cigs. My favorite is one that is on USB cable and plugged into my laptop as we speak. I have no idea what it is. The atty and cord...

I am restarting my grand experiment in "dying to smoke but vaping to live". HEELLLLP :) This is what I used up a couple years ago: it is in a 2.5 inch high, 1 inch diameter cobalt blue glass bottle with a black medicine style glass dropper and black rubber squeazie thingy. The label says...

Oh my goodness. What to say, where to start?? I'm sure it wasn't hard to figure out why I stopped posting. FAILURE, DOOM AND AGONY ON ME! Actually shame is more like it. I just got done walking around the house trying to find a .... or something that my hubby might have left lying around. No...

The kind of news I like to hear :) Day 20 for me. Congrats

I think most of us are really interested in what, if anything, we might be exposing ourselves to in exchange for the known carcinogens in smoked tobacco. I am hopeful that what I have read so far is accurate and the risk to other is so negligible as to be non-existant. I am equally hopeful...

I french inhale quite a bit when vaping - never did when smoking. I quite like it - I can "taste" the vapor better :confused:

Day 17 on the PV. 9 weeks non smoking. I think this is going to work! I can still breath, the sore throat is gone and my family accepts the PV and me as "non-smoking". Analogs are easier and the dry mouth is a real nuisance and those are worst complaints I can come up with :) Amazing...

You can't get around grief, but you can get through it. At least that's what they tell me. It is easier to control the flood of feelings when I think of my mom now and I can say out loud that I lost her without crying most of the time. She was an awesome person and a great friend and a great...

Ok - I'll be brave. LOL

Thank you! I am in SEMO! I'm an AF brat, but this is where my parents are originally from - well KC and Nevada. I'm in Branson - I love it here. Not the real world AT ALL.

I had that non-productive coughing going on when I was sick, but it had cleared up completely by the time I started e-cigs. Now I have a sore throat, really dry mouth and lips, I'm a little raspy and hoarse and I keep having to clear my throat of phlegm. All since I started the e-cig to keep...

I love to sit in a hot bath and smoke and read and drink coffee. Hubby calls it my princess routine. However, I am afraid to take my e-cig in there with me. What if I dunk it accidentally - wouldn't that ruin it? If not let me know :)

LMAO I would prefer no light. What I really need is pager like on my cordless phone. I hide my e-cig from myself a few times a day. The hardest time finding it was when I had stuck it in a coffee cup that is full pens and pencils. Why? I can not know. :p

Happy New Year Lynn! I am so glad you shared your story here. I have some weight I'd like to give you - I wish it worked that way. If I have to have COPD, I want the weight loss symptom! But no - I 'm GAINING weight. :rolleyes: That Chantix - I guess it has helped a lot of people but not only...

Very true. Perfection may be unattainable, but progress isn't. I remember just a couple months ago the best I ever felt was "ok" if I didn't move around too much or get over excited. If I even laughed I would get breathless and have a coughing spell. I can laugh til I wet my pants now and...

oops - realized this is very old thread :) Was just so excited to find something I wasn't too new to answer :)

That is really good news for me on the VG. I hope I get the same results. If I keep sounding like a heavy smoker noone is going to believe this is a good thing for me. :rolleyes: Theo - I took that many years ago, back when my diagnosis was still only bronchial asthma or asthmatic bronchitis...

I am waiting on some VG myself. I am hoping it might change the phlegm and throat irritation issues I'm having. Marlboro Man - yes please do post your experiments and results for us!

Hey there Marlboro Man! I'm glad you found this thread too! I'll be looking forward to your elaboration in a future post. I am looking forward to dropping some of these expensive meds but I am going to wait for Dr ok this time. Not refilling when I should probably contributed to my last...
